California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner announced that he will deploy Department of Insurance (CDI) consumer information experts to help Sayre Fire survivors with recovery efforts. Commissioner Poizner dispatched consumer information experts earlier this week, where they continue to assist Orange County fire survivors in Anaheim, Calif.
Governor Schwarzenegger announced the creation of a one-stop local assistance center in Sylmar. Commissioner Poizner is sending CDI staff to the one-stop assistance center to respond to any insurance-related questions and concerns survivors may have as they work to rebuild their lives in the wake of the destructive wildfires in Southern California. Consumer information experts will assist survivors with obtaining additional living expense payments, answer insurance questions, help fire survivors understand their coverage, provide advice for filing a claim and assist with filing a complaint if necessary.
The one-stop center will operate in Sylmar on Thursday, November 20. The operating hours are Monday through Friday 9 a.m.- 6 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. – 4 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. For location information, visit www.oes.ca.gov.
